Poor Bill Thomas. Guy gets released so they can give Kessel his jersey number.

Stefanovich didn’t even make it into a game! Would’ve liked to see what he could do, but maybe they were sending him a message that he’s really gonna have to work for it.

Yeah, he was fairly invisible wasn’t he? Guess he was clearly not ready or deserving of the chance yet.

The Marlies have exhibition games in Scotland next week. That’ll give him a chance to show a bit more.
